30. My Limau Purut Babies - Stem Cuttinga - from 12 Feb 2025

Limau Purut

growing them from stem cuttings

i bought a lot of limau purut leaves from ntuc. 

i'll freeze them and use whenever i cook.

the stems look sturdy and i was curious. 

so i decided to see if i can grow from a stem cutting. most stems die within a few days, sometimes a few weeks. but surprisingly, two stems managed to survive for months - from 12 feb 2025 till today 7 june 2025. 

this is my little  journal for these limau purut stem cuttings :D
